A crustacean husk refers to the hard exoskeleton or shell that protects crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. This outer structure is primarily composed of chitin, a tough polysaccharide, and provides both protection and support to the animal's body. After molting, when a crustacean sheds its old exoskeleton to grow, the husk is often left behind and can be found in various environments, contributing to the ecosystem.
